Vintage Cellar Critique: "Lightly baked berry aromas vie for attention with leather, spice and mild earth notes, and the result is disjointed. On the palate, this is tight as a drum initially, but more expansive as it unfolds. Cherry, plum, raspberry, vanilla and woodspice flavors finish pure, clean and easy. This is a fine yet manageable Rioja that’s not trying too hard. Drink through 2016."
My Review: This wine started off with a strong tannic odor, which guaranteed a strong dry taste. Its taste was pleasantly dry not overly so, with hints of cedar and tar, pencil lead too. It also had flavors of licorice and blackberry.
I had this wine alone without food.
